There are very few exceptions these days.

Stopped giving to my Ivy League alma mater years ago, but every once in a while they do something that makes me wish I were still giving so I could send an angry letter saying why I am stopping.

I only give a token amount so as to increase my odds of legacy admission for my children. Once the last one is in college, I’m done.

There isn’t a university that isn’t already extremely overpaid. Who is their right mind would simply give them more??

Graduate & Professional Degree ping.

To be added to (or dropped from) this occasional ping list, freepmail Albion Wilde.

My undergrad school fought to remain a single-sex institution in the 80s; but last year decided to admit transsexuals, even though they do not have a big endowment with which to manage social experimentation and the risk of lawsuits from the inevitable microaggressions. No donations for you!

My Ivy League graduate university has behaved absolutely abominably throughout the campaign and Trump's presidency. No shekels for you, either!

It’s time? No, no — it’s far *past* time. This cancer has been metastasizing right in front of our eyes since the 1970s when the Radical Left took over Academia. Any conservative alum who donates or sends their kids to these indoctrination mills is a fool.

Last month we changed our will and deleted my husband’s alma mater where he got his PhD. They will lose a LOT of money assuming that we continue on our same track with investments, pensions, etc.

My Alma Mater got exactly one donation: the deposit on my cap and gown at graduation.

When, a year later, they chose to spend the Class Gift on an entirely different project than the one the Class specified it for. . . . I was done.

The best thing to come out of college for me was the girl I met there. We’ve been married 30 years.

We get occasional calls from there for donations. My wife has made a few small ones.

But no more. A couple years ago, they opened something called the “Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia.”

That just sounds so insane, left wing, pro BLM that I told her that they don’t get another penny.

after 9/11 at Lehigh they stopped a group that was selling RED WHITE AND BLUE RIBBONS collecting funds for victim’s families....

lehigh administration stopped them saying it might offend foreign students

each year i make sure to send $0.01 to Lehigh because i figure it costs them $5 bucks to process the “donation”......

UNIVERSITIES ARE FESTERING COMMIE LIBTARD SEPTIC TANKS AND DESERVE NO SUPPORT WHATSOEVER.....

I’m a regular donor to both my undergrad and graduate school.

But I designate my giving to science/medicine institutes attached to the universities! Maybe these folks will find new treatments for important diseases.
